Starting the new year off right: my Blogaversary celebration giveaway!

On New Year's Day, our friends came over to play! We all watched the football games -- the men glued to the TV and the rest of us drifting in and out. The boys of course were distracted by video games, and us girls were crafting! There was a ton of good food to keep us all going!

Rebecca and her daughter wanted to try some of the collage/paintings I've been making with Jeanelle and Lisa, so we spent a few hours working on those.

Rebecca and I each made two!

You may recall that a couple of weeks ago I had my 3rd Blogaversary and was waiting until after the holidays to have a giveway to celebrate. Well, it's time then, isn't it?

The prize I'm offering is "Fierce Charm", my mixed media collage -- and the ink is hardly even dry because, as you can see, I made it on January 1! It's a OOAK piece, made with ephemera, paint, and ink on canvas. It measures 8"x10".

The giveaway is open to anyone and everyone has up to 2 chances to enter:

I remember when you very first started a blog....We have been going back and forth for three years now...time goes so fast.

I saw your giveaway when I came to say hi...
